Supply News articles have explained the low supply in the following ways: the war in Iraq, hurricane Ivan's damage to offshore oil platforms in the Caribbean, YUKOS in Russia, OPEC's (most notably Saudi Arabia's) failure to bring prices down via dipping into spare capacity (if it has spare capacity), civil unrest in oil producing West Africa especially Nigeria, worker's strikes and mechanical problems with oil production in Norway.

Spring 2005 increase After prices retreating for several months during the winter of 2004/2005 prices rose to new highs in March 2005. The price of light, sweet crude oil on NYMEX has been above $50/barrel since March 5, 2005. On March 16, 2005, the price surpassed the October 2004 high of $55.17 closing at $56.46.

This spike was largely lacking the immediate causes of the fall of 2004. During this period the Bush administration was expanding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a rate of 250,000 barrels per day. Reasons for these price increases vary depending on the analyst. One is the fact that winter in the US was colder than usual, although this became less and less relevant as year progressed towards spring. Another reason is that world demand also continues to increase, helped by the stellar growth of India and China. Finally, the dollar continues to slump against the euro. Oil is traded in dollars, and so in order for OPEC to maintain buying power in Europe, oil prices must increase. Some analysts thus feel that the increases are permanent and prices may go much higher. Goldman Sachs released an report predicting that prices could hit $100 at some unspecified date. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is an emergency petroleum store maintained by the United States Department of Energy. ...

Effects While some see these increases in the price of oil leading to a recession comparable to those that followed the 1973 and 1979 energy crises most economist see this as unlikely. All developed countries have high fuel taxes that decrease as oil prices increase and can be eliminated in the event of a dramatic price spike. The American Strategic Petroleum Reserve could serve a similar role in overcoming price increases in an emergency. Some say that western economies are about half as reliant on oil as they were thirty years ago, siting that in the United States, for instance, each $1000 dollars in GDP required 1.43 barrels of oil in 1970. In 2000 this number had fallen to 0.74, though these figures may not include adjustments for inflation.
